Iffy:

Among the many top-selling titles in EA's sports lineup, few sell like FIFA Soccer. On a global scale, a FIFA launch is like Madden on steroids. And with Microsoft's strong push toward the international markets with the Xbox 360 launch, few games sell the visual capabilities of the hardware to a global audience with the panache of FIFA. We recently got to see it in action while visiting EA's Redwood Shores location, and it's looking sweet.
One of the biggest focuses that EA's Canadian team took was to improve animation. The developers pumped much more effort into making player animations look exceptionally fluid and realistic. As a result, both players and ball move much more like they do in real life. The 360's extra memory has enabled them to implement these sorts of improvements to enhance the overall experience. Just as the current-generation had launches leading into a World Cup year, the next-gen FIFA 06 has been subtitled "Road to the World Cup."
From the time the game fires up, players are in the action. Depending on the favorite team they pick, the top players on that team will show up in an indoor arena and have a scrimmage. Wherever they stand on the map will open up menu options, or they can simply practice some maneuvers to outsmart the keeper and hit some net. It's akin to NBA Live's Temple in terms of form and function.

Unlike the NFL, who cooperated fully with the Madden team, FIFA's expansive governing body wouldn't have been able to orchestrate the kind of mass level facial scanning and capture that EA Canada would have needed. So, unlike other developers, the FIFA team had to work doubly hard to realistically depict players' faces without the aid of facial scans.
Control-wise, the development team has put a lot into tweaking them, as well as to keep the flow of gameplay moving toward as much realism as possible. There are a variety of new maneuvers for next-gen, including triggers for different crosses on the field. Of course, the action on the pitch is slightly different from a basketball court, but in terms of improvements, flow, and realism, it'd be intellectually dishonest to deny that FIFA and NBA Live truly feel like spiritual cousins on this next-gen system. Players will also be able to change tactics on the fly in this new game. Footy fans will be able to call substitutions and change formations without even having to pause the game to hit the menu.
